Hadeeth (186)
عن صهيب قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم عجبا لأمر المؤمن إن أمره كله خير وليس ذاك لأحد إلا للمؤمن إن أصابته سراء شكر فكان خيرا له وإن أصابته ضراء صبر فكان خيرا له (صحيح مسلم #2999)
Hazrat Suhaib (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “How astonishing is the condition of a believer! There is good for him in every situation, and this is exclusive for a believer. If prosperity and favorable conditions prevail over him, he expresses gratitude, and this is good for him. And if adversity and unfavorable conditions befall him, he adopts Sabr (patience), and this is good for him.”
عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه يقول: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : يسلم الراكب على الماشي والماشي على القاعد والقليل على الكثير (صحيح البخاري #6232، صحيح مسلم #2160)
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) narrates that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “The one who is riding a conveyance should make salaam to the one who is on foot, and the one who is on foot should make salaam to the one who is seated, and the group who are less in number should make salaam to the group who are more in number.”
Note: Though this is the etiquette of Salaam, each person should endeavor to make Salaam first as this is more rewarding, creates more love in the hearts and is more distant from pride. The Hadith mentions that the one who makes Salaam first receives greater reward and making Salaam first is a sign of being free from pride. In one Hadith, Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) mentioned to the Sahaabah (radhiyallahu ‘anhum), “You will not enter Jannah until you have perfect Imaan, and you will not have perfect Imaan until you have love for one another. Should I not show you an action, which if you carry it out, love will be engendered in your hearts? Make Salaam a common practice among yourselves (whenever you meet each other).”
عن عمران بن حصين رضي الله عنه أن رجلا جاء إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال السلام عليكم قال قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم عشر ثم جاء آخر فقال السلام عليكم ورحمة الله فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم عشرون ثم جاء آخر فقال السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ثلاثون (سنن الترمذي #2689، سنن أبي داود #5195)
Hazrat ‘Imraan bin Husain (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that a man once came to Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) and greeted him saying, “Assalaamu ‘alaikum”. After replying to his salaam, Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “Ten (i.e. he has earned ten rewards)”. Thereafter, another man came and greeted Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) saying, “Assalaamu ‘alaikum warahmatullah”. After replying to his salaam, Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “Twenty (i.e. he has earned twenty rewards)”. Finally, a third person came to Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) and greeted him saying, “Assalaamu ‘alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakaatuh”. After replying to his salaam, Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “Thirty (i.e. he has earned thirty rewards)”.
عن جندب رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم حدث أن رجلا قال والله لا يغفر الله لفلان وإن الله تعالى قال من ذا الذي يتألى علي أن لا أغفر لفلان فإني قد غفرت لفلان وأحبطت عملك أو كما قال (صحيح مسلم #2621)
Hazrat Jundub (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) has mentioned that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) narrated the following: A man (from among the previous ummats) said, “By Allah! Allah Ta‘ala will not forgive so-and-so person!” Allah Ta‘ala then said, “Who is this person who takes an oath by My name that I will not forgive so-and-so person? Indeed I have forgiven that person, and I have nullified all your good deeds (i.e. the good deeds of the one who had taken such an oath regarding Allah Ta‘ala not forgiving a certain person).”
عن عائشة رضي الله عنها زوج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال يا عائشة إن الله رفيق يحب الرفق ويعطي على الرفق ما لا يعطي على العنف وما لا يعطي على ما سواه (صحيح مسلم #2593)
It has been narrated from Hazrat ‘Aa’ishah (radhiyallahu ‘anha), the respected wife of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “O ‘Aa’ishah (radhiyallahu ‘anha)! Allah Ta‘ala is most compassionate, and He grants for compassion and kindness that which He does not grant for harshness, and that which He does not grant for any other action besides compassion and kindness.”
وعن أنس بن مالك قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم من لقي أخاه المسلم بما يحب الله ليسره بذلك سره الله عز وجل يوم القيامة (مجمع الزوائد #13721 قال الهيثمي رواه الطبراني في الصغير وإسناده حسن)
It is reported from Hazrat Anas bin Maalik (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “Whoever meets his Muslim brother in the manner which pleases Allah Ta‘ala (i.e. displaying good conduct or sharing something with him), in order to please him, Allah Ta‘ala will please him (in exchange of pleasing his brother through his good conduct, deed, etc) on the Day of Qiyaamah.”
عن عائشة رضي الله عنها أن رجلا قال للنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم إن أمي افتلتت نفسها وأظنها لو تكلمت تصدقت فهل لها أجر إن تصدقت عنها قال نعم (صحيح بخاري #1388 صحيح مسلم #1004)
Hazrat ‘Aa’ishah (radhiyallahu ‘anha) narrates that a person asked Nabi (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), “My mother has indeed passed away suddenly (i.e. she did not experience any sickness prior to her death which indicated her death). I feel that if she had spoken (in her final stages), she would have (made a wasiyyat and) given sadaqah. Will she receive the reward of sadaqah if I give it on her behalf?” Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) replied, “Yes.”
عن محل بن خليفة الطائي قال سمعت عدي بن حاتم رضي الله عنه يقول كنت عند رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فجاءه رجلان أحدهما يشكو العيلة والآخر يشكو قطع السبيل فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أما قطع السبيل فإنه لا يأتي عليك إلا قليل حتى تخرج العير إلى مكة بغير خفير وأما العيلة فإن الساعة لا تقوم حتى يطوف أحدكم بصدقته لا يجد من يقبلها منه ثم ليقفن أحدكم بين يدي الله ليس بينه وبينه حجاب ولا ترجمان يترجم له ثم ليقولن له ألم أوتك مالا فليقولن بلى ثم ليقولن ألم أرسل إليك رسولا فليقولن بلى فينظر عن يمينه فلا يرى إلا النار ثم ينظر عن شماله فلا يرى إلا النار فليتقين أحدكم النار ولو بشق تمرة فإن لم يجد فبكلمة طيبة (صحيح بخاري #1413)
Muhill bin Khalifah At-Tai says, “I heard Hazrat ‘Adi bin Haatim (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) mention the following: I was once with Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) when two men came to him. One of them was complaining of poverty and the other was complaining of highway robbery. Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said to them, “As for highway robbery, then it will seldom befall you, until (a time will come when there will be so much of safety that) a caravan will depart from Makkah Mukarramah without anyone to protect it. As for poverty, then Qiyaamah will not occur until one of you will go around with his sadaqah, unable to find a person to accept it. (On the Day of Qiyaamah) one of you will definitely stand before Allah Ta‘ala, without any veil between him and Allah and without any translator to translate for him. Allah Ta‘ala will then say to him, ‘Did I not bless you with wealth?’ He will reply, ‘Certainly.’ Allah Ta‘ala will then say, ‘Did I not send a Rasul to you?’ He will again reply, ‘Certainly.’ He will then look to his right and will see nothing but the fire (of Jahannum), and he will look to his left and will see nothing but the fire (of Jahannum). Each one of you should thus save himself from the fire (of Jahannum), even if it be by (giving) half a date (in sadaqah). If he does not find (even this amount, to give in sadaqah), then (he should save himself from Jahannum by turning the beggar away) with kind words.’”
عن أبي مالك الأشعري قال : قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : الطهور شطر الإيمان والحمد لله تملأ الميزان وسبحان الله والحمد لله تملآن أو تملأ ما بين السماوات والأرض والصلاة نور والصدقة برهان والصبر ضياء والقرآن حجة لك أو عليك كل الناس يغدو فبايع نفسه فمعتقها أو موبقها (صحيح مسلم #223)
Hazrat Abu Maalik Ash‘ari (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) narrates that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “Cleanliness is half of Imaan. ‘Alhamdulillah’ fills the scale, and ‘Subhaanallah wal Hamdulillah’ fills all that which is between the heavens and the earth. Salaah is a noor (inner light which will save one from sin), Sadaqah is a proof (of Imaan) and Sabr is a light (through which one will be guided). The Qur’aan is either a proof in your favor (by upholding its teachings) or against you (by violating its laws). All the people proceed (from their homes) in the morning (to the market), and then sell themselves (to Allah Ta‘ala, by fulfilling his commands) and free themselves (from Jahannum), and others destroy themselves (by selling themselves to Shaitaan through obeying him).”
عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال تنكح المرأة لأربع لمالها ولحسبها وجمالها ولدينها فاظفر بذات الدين تربت يداك (صحيح بخاري #5090)
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) narrates that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “A woman is (generally) married for four (qualities); her wealth, her status, her beauty and her Deen. Therefore, become successful by marrying a woman of piety. If you do not do this, your hands will be soiled (i.e. if you do not choose a pious wife, you will regret).”

عن أبي ذر رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم قال الزهادة في الدنيا ليست بتحريم الحلال ولا إضاعة المال ولكن الزهادة في الدنيا أن لا تكون بما في يديك أوثق مما في يدي الله وأن تكون في ثواب المصيبة إذا أنت أصبت بها أرغب فيها لو أنها أبقيت لك (سنن الترمذي #2340)
Hazrat Abu Zar (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) narrates that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “Abstention from the Dunya is neither (for one) to regard that which is halaal as haraam, nor (for one) to dispose of (all his) wealth. Rather, true abstention from the Dunya is that your reliance on that which is in Allah’s hands is greater than your reliance on that which is in your hands, and when you are receiving reward for a calamity that is inflicted upon you (through being pleased with the decree of Allah Ta‘ala and making sabr over it), then you are more pleased and happy (with the decision of Allah and His reward) while undergoing the trial, compared to if the trial had to be removed and you had not experienced that condition.”
The Beautiful Behavior of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam)
Written by user2عن أنس بن مالك قال كان النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم إذا استقبله الرجل فصافحه لا ينزع يده من يده حتى يكون الرجل الذي ينزع ولا يصرف وجهه عن وجهه حتى يكون الرجل الذي يصرفه ولم ير مقدما على ركبتيه بين يدي جليس له (سنن الترمذي #2490)
Hazrat Anas bin Maalik (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) has mentioned that it was the mubaarak habit of Rasulyullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) that whenever a person would meet him and clasp his hands (while making Musaafahah), Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) would not remove his hands from the person’s hands until the person removed his hands, and Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) would not turn his face away from the person until the person turned his face away, and Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) was never seen sitting with his knees ahead of the knees of the person who was seated next to him (i.e. when seated in a gathering of people, and all the people sat facing the same direction (e.g. people seated in the saffs of Salaah), he always sat in line with the person next to him, and would ensure that his knees are not ahead of the person who sat beside him, so that he would not be distinguished and different from the rest of the people).
The Noble Character of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam)
Written by user2عن عائشة رضي الله عنها قالت ما ضرب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم شيئا قط بيده ولا امرأة ولا خادما إلا أن يجاهد في سبيل الله وما نيل منه شيء قط فينتقم من صاحبه إلا أن ينتهك شيء من محارم الله فينتقم لله عز وجل (صحيح مسلم #2328)
Hazrat ‘Aa’ishah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) has mentioned that apart from Jihaad, Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) never hit anything with his blessed hand, neither a woman nor a servant. And if Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) was harmed (verbally or physically) by any person, he never took revenge from that person on behalf of himself. However, if any law of Allah Ta‘ala was broken, he would seek retribution for the sake of Allah Azza wa Jall.”
عن ثوير هو ابن أبي فاختة عن أبيه قال أخذ علي بيدي قال انطلق بنا إلى الحسن نعوده فوجدنا عنده أبا موسى فقال علي أعائدا جئت يا أبا موسى أم زائرا فقال لا بل عائدا فقال علي سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول ما من مسلم يعود مسلما غدوة إلا صلى عليه سبعون ألف ملك حتى يمسي وإن عاده عشية إلا صلى عليه سبعون ألف ملك حتى يصبح وكان له خريف في الجنة (سنن الترمذي #969)
Thuwair, the son of Abu Faakhtah (rahimahullah), narrates that Abu Faakhtah (rahimahullah) said, “Hazrat ‘Ali (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) once held my hand and said, ‘Come with us to Hasan (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) so that we may visit him in his illness.’ Then (on arriving at Hasan (radhiyallahu ‘anhu),) we found Hazrat Abu Musa (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) present with him. (Seeing him,) Hazrat ‘Ali (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) asked, ‘O Abu Musa (radhiyallahu ‘anhu)! (What is your intention for coming to visit him?) Have you come to visit him on account of his sickness, or are you visiting him (for some other purpose)?’ Hazrat Abu Musa (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) replied, ‘No (i.e. I am not visiting him for some other purpose). Rather, I am visiting him on account of his sickness.’ Hazrat ‘Ali (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) thus said, ‘I heard Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) mentioning, ‘There is no Muslim who visits another Muslim who is sick, in the morning, except that seventy thousand Angels make du‘aa for him until the evening. And he does not visit a sick Muslim in the evening, except that seventy thousand Angels make du‘aa for him until the morning, and he will have a garden in Jannah.’’”
